Gold onboard toilets, transparent jacuzzis in superyachts
Baku, March 31 (AZERTAC). Superyacht buyers seeking a few optional extras such as chandeliers, a gold-plated toilet bowl or even a see-through Jacuzzi should head over to the Dubai International Boat Show.
Companies exhibiting their latest dream crafts say they can meet even the most extravagant request, provided it met safety and marine design regulations.
UAE-based boatbuilder Gulf Craft is showing a 135ft Majesty superyacht that has not just a gold-plated toilet bowl but a matching bidet in the master bedroom`s en suite.
The Dh63 million golden-hulled vessel has four other luxurious en suite cabins in the lower deck that can be reached by another unusual bespoke feature - a lift.
A see-through Jacuzzi was the most unusual item supplied so far by AS Marine of Ajman, which also sells 135ft superyachts. It was fitted to the rear deck of a yacht in such a way that those sitting inside could peer down through the bubbles and the bottom of the bath and see fish swimming beneath the vessel, so perhaps it should have been described as sea-through. The Jacuzzi cost the buyer an extra Dh110,000.
"The interior is pretty open, we have only structural separations that are set and the rest of it you can move around," said Erwin Bamps, chief operating officer of Gulf Craft. "So it`s not just a case of changing carpet or fabric colours, it`s also about rearranging the layout. You can change walls, you can change single bedrooms to doubles, depending on the use of the boat.
